Shin Kurashiki: Texas Hold ‘Em Night
Saturday, July 28, 2007
After the Futaba Summer Festival I biked home and Clo and I walked to the train station. We hopped on the train and went to Shin Kurashiki. It was my first time to go here. We were going to go see some of Clo’s friends and play some poker…American style. When we got to the train station we met Phil. We all got a cab together and rode to Carrie’s house. Phil and Carrie are from Whales. I decided that Phil sounded a lot like Harry Potter. I called him Harry all night. It was great. I picked up a lot of British jargon. I was all about eating the “crisps” and talking about the “blokes.” We played poker for a few hours. We were not playing for real money but if we had been I would have made a killing. All those years I spent watching the grown ups play around the dining room table at MamMaw’s…and then when I finally got to play…MAN, I was on fire! Haha
When we had to leave to catch the last train we realized that none of us knew how to call a cab so we had to walk back to the train station. It was a long walk and I wasn’t amused but we had to get back somehow.
I wish Phil and Carrie were going to be here this year but they are going home. They were such a trip. They had been dating for about four years so just the way they talked to the other was hysterical to me. I would just laugh and laugh. Of course they would laugh at me because I thought Phil was Harry Potter and I thought that everything they said was the greatest. I love their accents! No pictures here, sorry. Photography is not allowed during the poker championships (Go America!!). I’m sure you knew that though. J
